The 7lb Time Machine

It's been 4 weeks since I last posted, friends. I didn't mean to stay away that long. But I have an excellent reason:

Our daughter is finally here. She is, possibly, the loveliest baby in the history of babies. (No, I'm not biased. Why do you ask?) And there are so many things I'd forgotten about newborns! Among them:

1. Their breath smells magic. You want to inhale when they exhale (the opposite of what you do with adults).

2. The Poo Cannon. Their timing is impeccable. Enough said.

3. Finally, if you spend your days and nights nursing, changing diapers, helping them sleep, and maybe returning some phone calls or going to the doctor (one or the other; not both), that's a full and exhausting life, my friends. I have the involuntary twitch under my left eye to prove it – just like Harkness.

So while we're all well, and utterly in love with our new girl, and marvelling at the miracle of her existence (we made a person!), my blogging will be sporadic over the next few weeks. Thank you for understanding, and I hope you're all having a splendid June. We certainly are.
